Really, how many "sophisticated" paddlewisers were really going to rush out and buy the book in the first place? And unless a "boycott" is announced how would they know what was going on. An exercise in futility, in my opinion. Anyway why would we want to buy JFK Jr's boot? It might not be the right size!! (Sorry, Julio, just pulling your leg re the typo in the subject line!) I was going to suggest that perhaps whoever did it is feeling really rotten and maybe would be willing to contact Ralph privately and apologize. The rest of us don't need to know who it was, Ralph could just advise us that the apology was made and accepted and let this thing die.
